Actress Patricia Neal dies at 84
Knoxville, Tenn. (AP) · Aug 8, 2010
Patricia Neal, the willowy, husky-voiced actress who won an Academy Award for 1963's "Hud" and then survived several strokes to continue acting, died on Sunday. She was 84.
Neal had lung cancer and died surrounded by her family at her home in Edgartown, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard.
"She faced her final illness as she had all of the many trials she endured: with indomitable grace, good humor and a great deal of her self-described stubbornness," her family said in a statement.
